This cake was a TOTAL disaster! I followed the recipe to every detail. But when it came to mixing things together it was like trying to mix bread dough with my mixer. The shortening and the sorbitol would not mix with each other no matter what I tried. I did try and bake it just to see what would happen and was totally disappointed. It was flat, it had an AWFUL aftertaste! All my ingredients were fresh so it can't be that! Truly a waste of all my ingredients!

I used splenda and it didnt work. I'm thinking that sorbitol is maybe like honey or agave nector? To make this better next time I think I will add a packet of dream whip and also some pudding in the cake. That would make it more moist and thicker. HTH!
